If only i knew which notes to sing
we would never stop the song
i would hear it all life long
lay me down inside that chamber
oh the language is a bit confusing
thats just because i think too much
its too fragile to touch
so i just whisper all the colors
and the canvas is your heart
well mine too
whats the difference between my soul and you
blowing smoke rings in your room
is a past time that i enjoy
but know we eat the flowers in the silence of the back yard
we threw our maps away
i guess we enjoy getting lost and never found
hanging round' this old ghost town
but now its gettin too old
im beginning to remember all my fallen memories
of when i put the sun upon my tongue
not knowin the clouds ever existed
like the time my momma came in on her golden tiger
and made us food with her bare hands
and we ate that starlet symphony in one sitting
they say its the end
but we know its just the beginning (but we know its just the beginning)
i wrote your name with the sidewalk chalk
and sang your name as i fell from the bean stalk
and when that white elephant opened up that diamond oh my heart was stolen from my chest
with the snap of a finger
your love painted a picture
and from that point on i wasnt afraid of the quicksand
or the giants in my dreams
i guess the real strength is in surrender
so i burnt my letters and wrote my poems on the oceans floor
see when the sun and moon collide i wanna see it with my eyes wide open
i wanna see it with my heart not frozen
oh constant companion help me understand there is nothin to fear
because on that golden day i should lift up my gaze and percieve the unseen
break all my television screens
and realize whats in side
open my eyes and see this beauty can not hide
